Tlie small schooner Luka arrived here today from Suva, capital cap-ital of the Fiji group, seventy-five days overdue and with her supplies and water nearly exhausted and her master ill. A typhoon struck the Luka soon after she left Suva, disabled her rigging and forced her from her course. She touched Jaluit island in the Marshall group and made temporary tem-porary repairs. Leaving the island the vessel encountered adverse winds and was forced to a wide detour de-tour around the Hawaiian group, sailing 5000 miles more than the j distance ordinarily to he covered. ! When the Luka arrived here her ! meat and flour were exhausted and she carried but little water in her casks. Illness of the ship's master ! and crew was caused by lack of provisions, pro-visions, but it was said all will recover. |
